Bill > A07989

This bill amends the New York Civil Service Law to address provisional appointments within Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). Under current law, provisional appointments typically have an expiration date, but this bill stipulates that if a provisional appointee has been in a position for nine months without a civil service examination being conducted, their appointment will automatically become permanent. Specifically, the bill prevents the provisional appointment from expiring under existing rules and instead considers the appointee to have been permanently appointed. This change provides job security for individuals in BOCES who have been serving in provisional roles and ensures that administrative delays in conducting civil service examinations do not negatively impact their employment status. The bill aims to protect workers from potential job uncertainty caused by prolonged examination processes and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
